William E. Butterworth, a prolific author, was born in New Jersey and raised in Boston, Philadelphia, and Manhattan. At the age of sixteen, he enlisted in the US Army and received training in counterintelligence. Initially stationed in Germany, he was later recalled to active duty to serve in the Korean War, where he worked as a combat correspondent. Following his discharge in 1953, Butterworth began writing novels while working as a civilian information officer at Ft. Rucker. In 1960, his first novel, Comfort Me with Love, was published, and he subsequently resigned from his job to focus on writing full-time. Butterworth published over 125 works under various pen names, including his first book for younger readers, The Wonders of Astronomy, in 1964.
